A Happy Occasion.

When age asserts his dominion
over the physical frame and the
infirmaties of many years press
heavily upon our shoulders, when
the days Of vigorous manhood ap-
pear as vague shadow in the past,
there can be no more happy occa-
sion to such an one, than to have Il
successful reunion of the sons and
daughters, whose youthful sports
gladdened the leisure of manhood's
days. Such an occasion occurred
in Perry township on Friday last
at the subitantial and comfortable
home of Alexander McClelland,
said date being his eightieth birth
day.
On this happy occasion there
were present the whole living fam
lily OF Mr., McClelland consisting of
six sons and one daughter, who to-
gether with sixteen grandchildren
and five great grandchildren, and
from thirty-five to forty relatives
and neighb0rs spent the day i'm
pleasant intercourse, partook of
the bountiful repast and departed,
wishing the veteran many returns
of the happy occasion.
Mr.. McClelland is one Of the pi-
oneers of the township, who spent
II young and vigorous manhood in
clearing up the farm on which he
has continually resided for more
than fifty years. His family, who
are among the most respected and
respectable in the community, were
reared in the substantial stone
mansion, where after the cares of
manhood and womanhood had long
engrossed their time and energy
they on that day congregated from
distant homes to honor their par
ents under the old roof-tree, w,

holding the view of Prosecutor

there was no power to remand. If

ELYRIA, the county seat of
Lorain county, had an exciting
election on the 1st, inst, ON the
question of prohibition of the sa-
looms. The vote, 1897, was the
largest ever cast there, and the
SWEETS" carried the day, their vote
being 615, against $50 and 3 blank.
The anti-prohibitionists made Il
very quiet canvass, while the Pro-
hibs and the w. C. II. U. worked by
holding numerous large and enthu-
.siastic meetings in the opera house
and in the churches. For a town
with near neighbor of the char
acter of Oberlin, such result was
calculated to create both surprise
and disappointment to the anti-sa-
loon workers.

Women.

Countess OF Jersey, in National Review.
The best educated woman will best
understand the limits Of her own pow
ers; the girl who can really earn her
living in a manner suited to her sex,
will not deisre work for which she is
unfit; and the women who most
thoroughly understands what the
term politics" implies will be the
last to aspire to a direct share in the
government OF the state, even though
she may think herself and her sisters
not unworthy OF a voice in the choice
of their rulers. There is great deal
of human nature about" even in
women, and you will never succeed in
cutting them all to one pattern. Votes
or no votes, Penelope will embroider,
Nansicaa entertain her guests, andre
mache nurse her baby, Helen viii firt,
Arpasia teach eloquence and guide
statesmen to the end of the chapter.
And Cassandra? Oh, Cassandra will
prophesy. We fear thai she will be as
little needed as she was in days OF yore,
and we hope that her foreb odings will
prove less true than those which spoke
the doom Of Troy.

Cost of Lying About His Age.

From the Lewiston (Me.) Journal
1t is always ridiculous to lie about
ones age, and sometimes expensive.
as recent decision by the Law Court
shows. The decision was in the case
OF Mrs. Mary p. P. SWEET against the
Citizens Mutual Relief Society of Port
land, in which Mrs. SWEET brought
action against the company to recov-
er 81, O29, the amount OF the society's
insurance upon her husband s life. 1t
appeared that Mr.. SWEET on taking
out the policy represented his age as
50 years, when in reality it was Sd.
The application blank bore the words
"None admitted over co." and the
court decides practically that the de-
ceit OF the plaintiffs husband violated
the policy. and that therefore shecan
not recover.

Tomato Pack Of 1886.

The canning Of tomatoes has become
a great industry in this country, and
the following figures from the Ameri-
can Grocer will be read with Interest,":
'"The tomato pack OF 1886 reaches
tocal of 1858, 76O cases oftwo dozen
tins each, being 929,754 cases ahead
OF the 1885 pack, and about up to
the average annual pack for the three
years Of lSS3-S5. which was 2,l32,-
921 cases. In1S83, the supply reached
3,OOO,OOOcases. MISS the pack was
less than one-half that of 1888. and
687, Ill cases below that Of 1854 The
shortage Of those two years, and the
failure to bring the supply OF this
year up to the maximum yield of1SS4
have been productive of good, in
that they have sent all the old packed
goods into consumption. Two mill
ion cases of tomatoes are less than
the annual requirements of the United
States, which are placed at fully
100000 cases. The spring of 1887
will see the stock Of tomatoes through
out the United States lighter than it
has been at any time for six years.
Packers have had this season a rising
market. something they have been
looking forward to for years. The
work Of the year has been profitable
to all good packers. The crop was
variable, being very heavy in New
Jersey, good in New York, Ohio and
Canada, but not up to expectation in
Maryland or the Western States,
where 1T was very irregular"

A New Civil-Seryice Feature.

Washington Letter: A few days ago
Civil-Service Commissioner Edgerton
put young lady candidate through an
examination that she did not bargain
for. The young lady came into his
Office with face as red as a full blown
rose. But on d close examination,
the Civil-Service Commissioner, who,
although old in years, is young in sight
and heart, discovered that this rosy
hue was secured by paint and powder
Mr.. Edgerton hates any thing unnat-
uralor artificial, and he looked at the
young lady for while, and asked her
if she ever expected to have a hlls-
band. The young lady was rather
startled at the question, but replied
Certainly" ''Then,' replied Mr..
Edgerton, IF l was young man and
calling to see you, | would prefer to
see your face. Do you suppose man
is going to fight his way through the
powder and paste on your face? No,
miss, the young man wants the true
article, not mouthful of paint and
powder. You have a good complex,

you plaster yourself up with this
stuff? Use soap and water, and you

An Agreeable Journey.

The Kentuckians tell good story
OF ex.Gov. Magoffin OF that state, who
is a good talker and likes to do most
Of the talking himself. One day, in
making the journey from Cincinnati
to Lexington. he shared his seat in the
car with a brisht-eyed, pleasant-faced
gentleman. The governor, after few
commonplace remarks, to which his
companion smiled and nodded assent,
branched into a description of the
scenes he had witnessed in different
parts. OF the country, grew eloquent
over the war, described with glowing
speech the horse races he had witness
ed, talked learnedly OF breeding and
told thrilling stories of his battles
with the Indians in the northwest.
The hours slipped rapidly away, and
when the train was nearing Lexington
the two exchanged cards and parted
with a. cordial shake of the hands.
The governor drove to an inn, and to
a number of friends he remarked that
the time had never seemed so short
before.
''Hhen you must have had a. pleas

An Old Maine Meeting House.

An Old Maine Meeting House.
Mr. u. w. Small has in the Oxford
County Record some interesting rem
iniscences OF the old Cornish meeting
touse OF his boyhood. One OF Its
quaint institutions was the Arrange.
ment OF the pew seats on hinges.
Mr. Small says that when the people
arose for prayers and turned up the
seats they t'made a noise louder than
thunder" The pulpit had a big gate
which the preacher closed with a bang
after he entered. The building was
never painted or warmed. Women in
delicate health brought little iron box
es OF live Goals on which to place their
feet. This was a fair sample OF
the ancient Puritan meeting
which some of our Oldest readers
probably can remember as well as Mr..
Small
Mr.. Small writes that the dedication
OF the edifce was celebrated with
horse trot. The morals OF those days
could not tolerate q stove In the
house Of worship, but permitted going
to a horse race and filling up with
Medford rum.
The singers had the front pews in
this old Westinghouse, but during the
singing of the hymns, the musical peo-
pie OF the congregation used to go for
ward, stand as near the regular sing
ers as possible and help them out.
Mr.. Small remembers a gay wldower
who was wont to 60 forward in a blue
coat with brass buttons, and had
birch bark placed in the soles OF his
shoes so they would squeak and call
the attention OF all the women to his
noble person.
After while they organized choir
with bass viol and clarionet in it.
A few Sundays passed and the conserv,
atlves in the congregation rose in re.
volt, declaring that as these instru-
ments had no souls, it was wicked TO
employ them in worship. The viol
and clarionet had to go.-Lewistop

What Your Eyes Denote.
From the Boston Post.

fVOHe zoo A1VosYb 4 pSts
Long almond-shaped eyes, with thick
skinned eyelids that cover half the pupil,
are indicative OF genius when they are
found in conjunction with brow which
is full over the eyebrows and which has
one deep perpendicular line between the
eyebrows. i haVe frequently noticed this
combination in toe faces of distinguished
literary men and artists. The almond
shaped eye, however, even without this
peculiar form OF forehead, always means
susceptible, impresSionable nature.
Eyos which are large, open and very
transparent, and which sparkle with a
rapid motion under well-dehned eyelds,
denote elegance IN taste, somewhat sus-
cepJlble temper and great interest in the
opposite sex. Eyes with weakly marked
eyebrows above them, and with thinly
growing eye-lashes which are completely
without any upward curve, denote fee
BILE constitution and q melancholy dispo-
sition. Deep sunken and small blue
eyes, under b0ny, almost perpendicular
forehead, are indicative OF selfish and
cOld-hoarted natures. Eyes which show
not only the whole of the iris, but also
some of the white both above and below
1t, denote restless, uncertain nature, in
capable OF repose or of concentrated
thought on any subject. The eyes of
voluptuary move slowly under heavy lids.
Round-shaped eyes. are never seen in the
face of highly intellectual person, but
they denote kindly, truthful and inno-
cent nature. Eyes which (when seen in
profile are so protuberant as to run al
most parallel with the profile OF the nose
show a weak organization OF body and
mind. Eyes rather close together show
penetration, but eyes close together de
note Ginning and an untruthtul disposi-
ton. Eyes rather far arart are indica-
tive of 1rankness and simplicity of pur-
pose-an honest and guieless nature.
When, however, the eyes are very tar
apart they denote stupidity. Eyes with
sharply defined angles, sinking at the
corners. show subtlety of mind; the
sharper the angle and the more it sinks
the greater the delicacy OF perception it
denotes; but when very much developed
it shows also craftiness amounting to de-
ceit. Well opened eyes, with smooth
eyelids and steady and somewhat fixed
glance, denote sincerity. Lines running
along the eyelids from side to side ard
passing out upon the temples denote
habitual laughter-a cheerful tempera-
ment, or, at any rate, one in which the
Spnsp of fun is strong
